The duration of time is // specified at construction time. The Watchdog may be used many times by // simply calling Arm() (to start timing) and Disarm() (to reset the timer). // The Watchdog is typically used under a debugger, where the stack traces on // other threads can be examined if/when the Watchdog alarms. // Some watchdogs will be enabled or disabled via command line switches. To // facilitate such code, an "enabled" argument for the constuctor can be used // to permanently disable the watchdog. Disabled watchdogs don't even spawn // a second thread, and their methods call (Arm() and Disarm()) return very // quickly. #ifndef BASE_THREADING_WATCHDOG_H_ #define BASE_THREADING_WATCHDOG_H_ #pragma once #include #include "base/base_api.h" #include "base/synchronization/condition_variable.h" #include "base/synchronization/lock.h" #include "base/threading/platform_thread.h" #include "base/time.h" namespace base { class BASE_API Watchdog { public: // Constructor specifies how long the Watchdog will wait before alarming.
